Meaning
This reads as a meditation on what lasts when everything else falls away. It points to an inner steadiness that makes even mortality feel less alarming, not because death is denied, but because the self is understood more deeply than the body. It lands in moments of grief or aging, when a person is trying to meet fear with calm.
